I guess it's time for a BAM!

I had full intentions of writing out a very detailed BAM, but now that the time has come I really don't feel like it! So I'll keep it simple.

I worked SO hard to ensure everything went perfect, so of course, plenty went wrong! 3 days before the wedding, the dart the seamstress placed in the illusion top of my dress ripped out and I had to scramble to find a new seamstress who could fix it! It was terrifying but it am so thankful to the seamstress who fixed it on her day off!

Our flowers were not at all what we had discussed, which was more than disappointing.

My veil ripped 2 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle and thankfully my friend had a paper clip and somehow made it work.

Our second shooter had a "glitch" with her camera so she left without taking a single photo.

I was furious to find our guests brought in alcohol. I'm so glad we paid thousands for an open beer/wine bar just for guests to bring their own.

    Everything looks amazing! I would never know it wasn't everything you wanted. Sorry it wasn't perfect but hopefully in time it won't bother you so much. Why did it bother you that people brought in alcohol? Every wedding I've been to that served beer in wine had people sneak in alcohol. I just figure it's going to happen.
